| Help choosing a DAC This is a nice summary of the Denafrips lineup https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/digital-reviews/spdif-dac-reviews/denafrips-ares-ii-pontus-ii-venus-ii-and-terminator-plus/ I have the Pontus II and Hermes DDC. It’s a great combination.... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE @ghdprentice i agree absolutely. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s very warm but it is warm and honestly I’m probably splitting hairs with you over it. I didn’t read the summary as derogatory, I’ve just never heard that about the Pontus and i... | |
| *DAC @navyachts I really like your system. The CODA pieces are particularly intriguing. How do you like them? As far as DACs go, the Terminator has already been mentioned. You could also try a DDC into your current DAC. That would cost you less th... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE I have the Pontus II and do not find the weaknesses as described by Bard. The Pontus II being fed by my MacBook Pro sounds better than the HiFi Rose 250a I had. I've since added a Hermes DDC and it sounds even better now. It sounds detailed but... | |
| Robert Plant Listening to In the Mood at the moment. | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Two REL T/5x subs. They have made a night and day difference to my listening experience. | |
| Babylon sisters Great song from a great album! | |
| REL .LFE input Sorry to hear that, wish I could be more help. | |
| REL .LFE input Did you try the rca grounding suggestion from REL? I read that having the sub plugged into the same circuit as the amp can make a difference as well. | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. I have an MA8900 with the DA1 module. It’s a good DAC but I purchased a Denafrips Pontus II 12th Anniversary and a Hermes DDC and am quite pleased with the outcome. Those two best the internal DA1 by some good measure in detail, soundstage and i... | |
| REL .LFE input Have you tried this: https://relsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004649588-How-do-I-stop-my-subwoofer-from-humming- I just got two T/5x subs and got them set up no issues, that doesn’t help you but the rca trick on the webpage abo... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 +1 @gkelly. Spending a little more to get what you want is usually a good thing. I will say though that having just bought two subs I would move down the chain and split the budget to get a pair, or buy the s510 and plan on budgeting for another t... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 I just purchased a pair of REL T/5x subs, they are fantastic. I have a small listening space so the T7 or T9 would likely be a better match for you. The T7 is within your price range the T9 is about $1000 over (for a pair). The Neutrik Speakon con... | |
| Help installing SSD in Auralic Aries G2 @davelarz how did it go? | |
| Tidal or Qobuz I have subscriptions to both but use Tidal most often. I don’t notice any difference in quality for the most part. I think Jay is correct it matters which song/album you are listening to. Tidal is getting rid of MQA and replacing them with FLAC... |
